Announcing our 2013 Summer Design Team

I am so pleased and proud to announce our newest round of Designers. While everyone on this list is familiar, we *may* have one or two surprises in store for you over the next few weeks. :-)

Google Reader Alternatives

If you hadn’t yet heard the news, Google Reader announced it would be shutting its doors on July 1st. The thought of not being able to scroll through your favorite blogs on Google Reader probably sent you into a panic! Worry no more, because each Thursday through the end of June we will offer great alternatives to Google Reader here on the MFT Blog.

Today we will be focusing on Feedly.

Like Google Reader, Feedly gives you a way to organize and read the content of all your favorite sites. It is very user friendly and is available with free software for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Simply download the free software and it will automatically migrate your existing reading list over to Feedly in a matter of minutes.

MFT New Product Tour

Welcome to the My Favorite Things New Product Tour. All of the new Die-namics and Stamp Sets you’ve seen over the last 7 days of Teasers are now available HERE in the MFT Boutique!

NewProductTourI am just loving all of the new products for the June Release! I was pressed for time so I knew I had to go clean and simple. I reached for this month’s Triple Scoop set, Bold Statements and paired it with the Scattered Stars Die-namics.

I cut the stars out of a Smooth White card base with the Scattered Stars Die-namics and added a piece of Lemon Drop Card Stock so behind the stars so the Lemon Drop showed through.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Bold Statements in Black Licorice ink. I felt the card needed just a little something, so I added a Lemon Drop punch out from the Scattered Stars Die-namics and painted it with the new MIX-ables Sheer Sparkle Glitter Glaze. It adds just the right amount of sparkle I was looking for.
